This is true, but the price for Hypercard was $50. I expected Hypercard
GS to be about the same price. I suppose we have to see what CLARIS 
is selling Hypercard for before we blast Apple for this though. 
Admittedly it would have been nice if there'd been a slightly lower
price for HCGS though.

As it is I'd have to get a memory upgrade, and a hard disk before I 
could even think about using this anyhow -- and I probably will
eventually (have to scrimp 'n' save again)
